I hadn't connected the dots to realise that, but now you mention it I'm sure I have witnessed that myself. My shots with less red and more green from Kokerbin a couple of months ago were all post-midnight.

Typically I'm more of a "early nighter" astrophotographer, in that rarely these days photograph past midnight. I take the easy option of doing some astrophotography then having a normal sleep to be able to do things in the days not sleep deprived. I get the impression many of you are more all-nighter type's

It's a shame and not something I expected, having last been there 10 odd years ago.
